ZeeoSix. Really true that one Apple is that high in sugar? Where does one validate that statement. I am a diabetic and need to minimise sugar input. I like to eat apples. Ed
Learned some thing here
. I always believed, "You don't get fat from fat, it's sugar that makes you fat".
Too much of anything makes you fat man. Your body can convert protein to sugar, for example.Learned some thing here
I say and try to think different. Your body is smart. Stew on that.
Espresso? Oh no!
I'm screwed!

This says, 19 grams of carbs. Even the ADA says to limit meals to 15 grams of carbs. Half an apple, OK.
Type II diabetics can react differently to fruits. Depends how IR you are. Some spike a bit and come down OK, some folks spike later and slowly come down. What does YOUR meter say?
I now will wade into an area where the pot shots start again.
If you are diabetic or even tending to IR, avoid fruit, or a lot of fruit.
For sure limit or avoid super sweet tropical fruits.
Don't even think about fruit juice.
The best fruit are dark berries, but even then in moderation and again avoid if you want to remain in keto. That said berries are absolutely nutritious. Eat them if you can and watch BG. Also in season, or freeze when in season. Some of the imports are sketchy with pesticides, IMHO.
Yeah I know, drinking fat is worse.

Little Delilah isn't allowed on the table. She's a good girl though, she doesn't go up there.

I'm getting ready to make my sausage cheese english muffins again.
They're good though. Defrost a breakfast sausage, and bake it on a tray in the toaster oven and melt cheese on the sausage when it's almost done cooking. The english muffins are bays Rasin/cinnamon.
Don't need any mayo or dressing on them or anything.

Excess consumption of calories results in the deposition of bodyfat.
Eating carbs triggers metabolic processes that encourage bodyfat storage. This happens via increased insulin production. Insulin has also growth factor-like properties that encourage bodyfat and muscle increase. Google mTor. This is why strength athletes and bodybuilders eat all the time and why they often abuse insulin.
Eating when not actually hungry encourages means constantly elevated insulimsecretion with all the metabolic consequences this entails: elevated blood glucose levels, elevated insulin levels, mTor being triggered. Eating all day long, from morning till night is a recipe fir dusasrer because the body never gets the break it needs from the effects of insulin and mTor.
Restricting food intake to a period of 6 to 10 hours a day results in less exposure to insulin, less time being subjected to mTor and giving the metabolism a chance to switch from using glucose to using bidyfat as a fuel. Look into AMPK.
Research has shown that carbs triggervthe most insulin response, protein less so, and fat triggers a very minor response. By eating a diet very high in fat you can indeed make your body make less insulin and be less prone to getting fat. That's also because fat is very satiating and willmmake you feel full. However, our bodies were not designed to live off fat.
To sum it up, for weight maintenance:
Cut carbs
Restrict the daily feedings (you already sleep probably 6 hours within a 24- hour period)
Nutrition! Protein, fat, carbs. Don't neglect getting micros and especially phytos.
Sufficient sleep at all cost
Exercise
For weight loss you need to add a caloric deficit.

Google search it ... lots of info on sugar content. 6 grams sugar per teaspoon of honey. I said tablespoon (tbs) before ... but in one tbs there would be 18 grams since 3 teaspoons is equal to 1 tablespoon (tbs). Anyway, quite a bit of sugar in Fuji apples.

My cat in my profile picture.
That was my second guess. Pretty kitty!
My wife didn't finish her ribeye two days ago and when I found the leftovers in the fridge this morning I helped her out. Other than a little meat there was a tiny bit of rice . I added some salsa to the rice, made some scrambled eggs that I slapped on a slice of bread. That's enough until tonight when I will attend a Christmas dinner. I hope GON won't see this - his delicate stomach might rotate.
Who eats a steak from the outside in? What's wrong with my wife? I eat steak from one end to the other.

Do, you want me or Pablo to be the bearer of bad news?
